No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies



I found this recipe a few years ago on Christmas-Cookies.com but they call them Peanut Butter Oatmeal Drops. They are a peanut butter version of the chocolate no bake cookies. These are a family favorite and well liked whenever I bring them to potlucks.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup milk or evaporated milk (I always use milk)
pinch of salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick cooking rolled oats

Line two baking sheets with waxed paper. In a large heavy saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar, milk and salt. Bring mixture to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Without stirring, let mixture boil for exactly 3 minutes. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter has melted. Quickly stir in oats, mix well. Working fast, drop mixture by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Allow to cool and become firm(this doesn't take long).
